A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Han Qi felt that the Mangshan Army was an eyesore in the capital, but Shen An was an eyesore even more.

At first, everyone just regarded his miscellaneous knowledge as a joke, but when the telescope came out, it was everyone who turned into a joke.

A lunar eclipse left Zhao Zhen helpless. As soon as the telescope came out, he made the ministers kneel down and suppressed the matter.

The prime ministers and ministers were a little aggrieved by this matter, so when Han Qi came out to speak today, everyone was pretending to be stupid.

You won praise from the officials for your telescope, but we were tricked by you and became coolies. We worked hard to suppress the lunar eclipse incident and offended many people.

Bitter!

If Shen An is not given someone, it will be difficult for everyone to calm down.

Han Qi sighed: "Your Majesty, the Mangshan Army should be defeated by now. By then... its reputation will be ruined. Why not send it to Fuzhou... Didn't you say that Shen An is good at both civil and military affairs? But this martial arts is different from civil affairs. You have to go through many battles before you can become successful, otherwise it is just talk on paper."

Zhao Zhen was a little moved.

He wanted to cultivate Shen An. Literary matters were easy to talk about, but what about military affairs?

this……

He glanced at Han Qi and said: "When the country soldiers leave the local area, this...does the Song Dynasty have this rule?"

Soldiers from the countryside, soldiers from the same village. Rural soldiers usually just go about their business and do whatever they are supposed to do. So there is no problem in mobilizing Xiang soldiers, but rural soldiers... I have never heard of them being asked to leave their hometowns.

Han Qi said sternly: "In the official family, rules are dead, but... but people are alive. If a war is really going to start, not to mention the local soldiers, the common people will also have to go into battle!"

Everyone is nodding.

This is the first time that Han Qi has received support from so many people. He said with some pride: "The Mangshan Army must have lost at this moment. I am worried that Shen An will be embarrassed and unwilling to go."

Song Xiang also felt that it was quite embarrassing.

"Your Majesty, let's forget it. The Mangshan Army was defeated, Shen An must be ashamed and angry, and I feel a little bit forcing him to go to Fuzhou at this time... After all, he is still young, there will always be opportunities in the future."

Fu Bi also felt something was inappropriate: "Your Majesty, Shen An has made many meritorious deeds. This matter depends on his own wishes. If he doesn't agree, then forget it. Let's talk about it later."

It is best for Zaifu to have battle experience, which will be of great benefit to future coordination.

Han Qi relied on his experience to become a Privy Councilor, and then naturally entered the Political Affairs Hall.

Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "Shen An is still young, let's do it later."

If the Mangshan Army is defeated again this time, those who want to increase their prestige will be even crazier to challenge, and the capital will be restless, which is what Zhao Zhen does not want to see.

So get away. When you come back from Fuzhou, this trend will be over.

"Your Majesty, Shen An is here."

"Let him in."

Shen An walked in under the attention of the emperor and his ministers, looking calm.

This man didn't look frustrated or angry at all?

Han Qi and several prime ministers were awestruck, wondering if his city was so deep?

After saluting, Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "Most things in the world are not smooth. It's just a matter of getting over it. You are still young. You will learn from it in the future."

This is encouragement and comfort from the emperor.

Shen An said with a moved face: "Thank you for the official encouragement."

Zhao Zhen said with satisfaction: "Well... the defeat of the Mangshan Army is not a big deal. We will practice slowly in the future..."

I have to say that Zhao Zhen can be called a warm man many times.

This kind of gentle words of comfort is not uncommon for him, and his ministers will also be grateful, and the king and his ministers get along well with each other.

Han Qi smiled and said: "Victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists. You..."

Shen An looked confused: "The Mangshan Army did not lose!"

He didn't know what conclusions these monarchs and ministers came up with, but the contempt for the Mangshan Army made him a little dissatisfied.

At this moment, the Mangshan Army had already established a foothold outside the capital. He no longer needed to let them pretend to be weak, so naturally they refused to lower their posture.

"Didn't lose?"

Zhao Zhen looked at Han Qi. Just now, this guy swore that the Mangshan Army would lose. What's going on?

Shen An said angrily: "Your Majesty, you have underestimated my ability in training troops. I am not bragging. After such a period of time, the Mangshan Army has been completely transformed."

This guy is really thick-skinned!

The prime ministers and assistants all lowered their eyes slightly, feeling that most of them could not boast so much.

"Really won?"

Zhao Zhen felt that time had not passed long!

And isn't Zhe Kexing training the Mangshan Army? How did you become Shen An?

"Won."

Han Qi felt that something was wrong with this matter, so he simply revealed the details of Wang Shi.

"Your Majesty, those people who are practicing martial arts with the Mangshan Army...most of them are rogues, and a few are people who have quit the army. How can the Mangshan Army win? I'm afraid there is some emotional evil involved!"

Is Shen An afraid that he cheated?

Or he used a dirty trick.

As for the dirty trick, everyone just goes and checks it out.

Are you familiar with the art of war?

I'm afraid you can only tell jokes!

Shen An said helplessly: "There are so many people who have seen this... Just ask anyone and you will know."

Zhao Zhen pointed outside. Chen Zhongheng walked out quickly and came back soon.

This is the news I got from the Imperial City Division.

"how?"

Zhao Zhen also felt that Shen An had probably learned some art of war, but it was just on paper, so he didn't believe it.

Han Qi was smiling and looking very elegant.

I'm just waiting to see your jokes!

Chen Zhongheng stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the two sides faced each other before. There were more than 200 people on Wang Shi's side and more than 100 people from the Mangshan Army. It was just a face-to-face..."

He glanced at Shen An, with surprise in his eyes, and then said, "It was just a meeting, and Wang Shi was overwhelmed."

What?

Zhao Zhen blinked and asked: "How did you win? No, how did you fail?"

Han Qi said calmly: "But you used something to break it open?"

Chen Zhongheng shook his head and said: "It is said that one of the Mangshan troops rushed forward and almost cut off the opponent's arm with a wooden sword. The country soldiers rushed in with all their moves, and the opponent collapsed at the first touch and was completely defeated."

Zhao Zhen took a breath and glanced at Shen An, wondering if this young man really had the talent of a famous general?

Famous generals do not refer to people who can train troops, but to generals who plan strategies.

Shen An first practiced the students of the Imperial College to defeat the Mangshan Army, and then went back to practice Mangshan Ju to defeat a more powerful opponent.

this……

Zhao Zhen looked at Fu Bi.

Prime Minister, did our Song Dynasty really produce a famous general?

Chen Zhongheng was afraid that everyone would not believe it, so he said: "It took less than a stick of incense to break more than 30 people's bones..."

Damn it!

So cruel!

If you attack so harshly, the possibility of bribery is zero.

Because if it reaches this level of killing, even if it is bribed, it will explode in anger.

So it's true?

Han Qi's face turned red, he coughed dryly and said, "Isn't this... careless?"

Shen An smiled and said: "Prime Minister Han can choose someone to try again. I forgot to tell Prime Minister Han that Zhao Zongjiang and Zhao Zhongzhen lost in a bet before. It is said that they will have to live without grain for three more days. Alas! King Huayuan County is like this The heart of Tao is so firm, but unfortunately we are in the clan, what can we do?!"

Xiao Qing looked blue beside him, but he could only lament in his heart the persistence of Zhao Yunliang and his son.

Can't you change your bet?

In the past three days, I have lost every time. If I lose, I will lose. But every time, it is 'bigu'. If you tell me... this county and prince's palace has become a Taoist paradise.

If you lose again, how can you compete for the spare tire qualification in the future?

Han Qi also figured it out. This matter was a foregone conclusion, but he felt aggrieved.

When I led the army, it failed miserably, but why can you, Shen An, create miracles repeatedly?

He couldn't help but ask: "Why can I win?"

He felt that Shen An would not answer this question, so he smiled bitterly.

I remember that I once galloped northwest!

Shen An frowned slightly, and then said with an innocent face: "Well... I just practiced and planned according to the art of war... I didn't think there was anything difficult. It's really, very simple."

puff!

Everyone felt that they should spit out a mouthful of old blood.

You actually said this is very simple, but we think it is very simple. Isn't this a slap in the face?

The monarchs and ministers present were all young except for Shen An and Xiao Qing, but a group of old men felt their lungs hurt by Shen An's words.

But when they saw Shen An's honest look, they couldn't vent their anger.

So I became even more depressed.

A group of old men are too embarrassed to see anyone.

Even Zhao Zhen said with a cold face: "In this case, the Mangshan Army will go to Fuzhou to have a look, and then come back after the Xixia people retreat. As for you..."

I am very depressed! So I won't be polite.

But after seeing Shen An Chunliang's appearance, his heart softened.

This young man is honest, maybe he didn't notice that speaking like this would hurt us.

That's right, how could a young man know the inner world of a group of old men?

This is too demanding!

So he looked a little brighter and said, "Just don't go."

He felt that Shen An was unwilling to go, so he couldn't help but be merciful.

My kindness has been given to others, but who can be kinder to me?

He looked at the ministers and felt that these people had selfish motives.

When encountering difficulties, you will shirk your responsibility, and when encountering good things, you will scramble to get ahead.

Who is loyal to me?

But Shen An was ecstatic.

He had long wanted to see the battle formations of this era, but he just didn't have the chance.

The last time he and Yelu Jun played tricks on each other at Baigou River, he really wanted to fight with the Liao people on the other side.

But he didn't bring enough people, so he had to regretfully miss the opportunity.

And now Zhao Zhen actually takes the initiative to give him a chance, so what are you waiting for?

He immediately showed some kindness and loyalty, and said impassionedly: "Your Majesty, do you think I am someone who is greedy for life and afraid of death?"

Zhao Zhen was stunned, and then moved.

But the prime ministers and assistants once again refreshed their views on Shen An.

I thought he was a bit cunning before, but how could a cunning person take risks?

Everyone has analyzed it before. At this moment, Wu Zangying Pang is looking for an opportunity to show off to Da Song, and then go back and show off to shock those opponents.

If an inexperienced young man like Shen An were to encounter a battle, the chance of dying in battle would be high.

That's a battlefield!

A single stray arrow can make a hero hateful.

The sunlight reflected from outside the hall and shone behind Shen An, who was standing in the middle, covering him with a layer of light.

He said loudly: "Your Majesty, I am willing to wield my sword for the Song Dynasty, and I am willing to expand the territory for the Song Dynasty!"
